A lack of composure. No excuses.

In the past whiles I've limited my ramblings to mainly live performances (most often with a margarita in hand). Recently, I've felt the need to get back to typing it out and expressing myself with only the gentle clacking of my fingers on the keyboard.

That being said! Mercury is in retrograde! (findyourfate.com has a color-coded calendar that I recommend. The retrograde days are marked in OH SHIT red so you can prepare to pee your pants in uncomfortable silence in advance.) What the hell am I or anyone else thinking by re-starting or beginning anew in ANY pursuit related to communication of any sort?

I've perhaps jumped ahead a little. The planet Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and represents communication, messages from far away, technology and swift energy that rides along the surface of an idea never quite plunging into the dark depths of understanding but creating enough buzz and confidence to assure a certain type of competence to an observer.

A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backwards across the sky from Earth. Other planets go through a similar transition but the one that gets the most press is Mercury. Why?

It's hard out there for an Aries...

I've been an absolute neglectasaurus as far as this blog is concerned.

Naturally, I blame the current astrological forecast. Mars is in Taurus right now and if there was ever an astrological recipe for lazy, that would be it. Mix with egg and flour, bake for 14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, dust lightly with confectioners sugar.

Last Saturday I had the fortune to get to see my Aquarian soul-sister after nearly a year. I was so ridiculously happy. It was better than Yule-mas. We had a blast and parted with big hugs and a vow to definitely do this again. (Which if you are a girl, you know usually doesn't mean anything but this time, it was earnest.) Each sign of the zodiac acts a certain way when they meet up with someone who is in the same sign as them.Some are harmonious, some butt heads in ways that the audience of America's Funniest Home Videos could only appreciate.

Below, I cover Aries through Leo with the rest of the soul sisters and soul brothers coming soon!
